No wonder Rome fell.

This had absolutely nothing to do with it, any more than it had any other magical powers.

I know. Just being corny.

So Quintis had a tiny weenie?

L

There’s nothing lucky about a one incher.

Like shrunken heads, did they used to preserve...?

Quintus Sollonius had the silver brooch (I think there’s a topic from early in that list above, but got lazy and didn’t check).

But it sounds like every man woman and child had one of these. There was a huge factory for them in Smegmopolis.

100’s of years from now, archeologists will keep finding gold plated mink penises among the belongings of ancient humans. I’m sure they will be considered “wonderful” as well.

Bigus Dickus.

A Roman sweatshop.

No wonder Rome fell.

Did Rome fall, or did it recede and drop?

having children was so important to ancient man that they would wear penis necklaces around their necks!

And yet today.. most murder their babies.

It is so cold and damp in that part of the world, they probably never got any bigger…🥶

1 inch is more like Tinyius Schwantzus.

Funny

In before Monty Python and Biggus Dickus.

There was a huge factory for them in Smegmopolis.

OK, Lister.

Maybe it wasn’t a good luck charm, maybe it was just an award given him by his fellow soldiers for being such a...dick.
